“Jessica did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs and house while we were away! She kept me posted with pictures and updates every few hours. I would highly recommend her! So happy to have found Jessica. She's exactly what we were hoping for in a trusted pet-sitter.”
“I couldn't have taken better care of Claire than she did in my absence! So thankful to finally have found a sitter that I am completely comfortable with and know my girl is in good hands. Thanks Cheryl!”
“Carter took great care of my boys. They aren’t the easiest (one doesn’t like strangers or other dogs and the other has separation anxiety and both are big and needy) but from the moment he met them, they were buddies. He left the house in clean and kept me informed on how they were doing while I was away. Will definitely book with him again and we are so thankful we found him.”
“Becca was amazing! Apollo absolutely adored her. I was really nervous to leave him and she made everything so easy. Very kind person who is definitely a dog whisperer. I’ll reach out again 🥰”
“Wonderful!! Can't say enough good stuff about Tina. She's a sweetheart and loved my Bernie and she loved Tina. They had a good day with no issues so I was able to travel to Jacksonville for Dr appointments. Tina arrived bright and early ask planned and was very patient about our long day away. Bernie, Mom & Dad love Tina E!”
“Corey was absolutely amazing with George and Bosun! From the moment we met him, I felt confident they were in great hands. He was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that George and Bosun were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Coming home to two relaxed, content dogs meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Corey again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable Rover sitter!”
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I've had dogs to horses. I love them as family just like I love my own children. I'm retired so I have plenty of time to put myself into a job in which I would love. I know I would love your animals as much I love mine. My dogs are very spoiled and very well taken care of and loved by all of my family. So I will show your pets the same love and care as I show my own
About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well. I love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.
“We loved having Kelcey pet sit our Pup Zena. She gave Zena all the special care that she needed with being an older dog. When Zena didn’t want to go out after a long day, Kelcey picked her up and got her outside. She gave her a ton of loving and is very trustworthy. Will definitely book again as long as we still have Zena. Thank you again, The Gregory’s”
“This was our first time using Rover since we moved to Florida. We felt good about using Katelyne after the meet & greet. It was obvious she has a love for dogs. She was prompt arriving, kept us informed throughout the day including sending pics and she gave us a synopsis when we got home. She made sure we didn’t have any questions for before she left. We will use Katelyne again, providing she is available.”
“Patty was absolutely AMAZING! She communicated well before, during and after the stay. She consistently sent photos and kept us up to date on our dog. She was very respectful and would definitely use her in the future!”
About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
About: I have grown up with many breeds of dogs in my home. My parents and friends have always relied on me to care for them. I currently work at a local restaurant as the sous chef. It is dinners only and my longest shift is only about 9 hours. I usually work from 1pm until 9 or 10pm My favorite part of having pets in my home is playing and interacting with them! I value spending time with the animals and keeping them mentally and physically stimulated
About: I know what it's like to hand your dog over to someone else — that flicker of worry, even when you trust them. Our dogs aren't just pets. They're family. They greet us at the door like we've been gone for years, they curl up next to us on the hard days, and they love us without any conditions at all. Trusting someone else with that is not a small thing. So here's what I want you to know: when I'm with your dog, I'm not just watching them — I'm watching out for them. Every walk, every outing, every minute we spend together, I take seriously. Not because it's a job, but because I know exactly what it means to love a dog like family, and I know what it means to be the one responsible for them when you can't be. My goal isn't just to keep your dog safe. It's to give you real peace of mind — so that wherever you are, you can stop thinking about whether they're okay, and just know they are. Loved, looked after, and genuinely cared for, the same way I'd want someone to care for mine. Your fur baby is in good hands. I won't take that lightly. More information about me: Dogs have been part of my life since I was 10 years old, when I got my first German Shepherd Dog puppy named Storm. I built him a pen in the laundry room — and slept in there with him for weeks, just to keep him company. That was the start of it. Since then, I've owned and raised about a dozen German Shepherd Dogs, and I've trained dozens of dogs over the years for myself, friends, and family. Today my pack is three: my two German Shepherd Dogs; Ella (10) and Sadie (8), my Belgian Malinois, Mila (2.5). Living with working breeds has shaped how I think about exercise — it's not about wearing a dog out until they're panting. It's about engaging their mind as much as their body. That's the philosophy behind everything I offer. A walk should have a purpose. A trek should be an adventure, not just a loop around the block — somewhere new to sniff, explore, and think. Outing and training sessions build real confidence, not just compliance. I tailor every visit, every outing and every training session to your dog's personality and energy, whether that's a relaxed neighborhood walk, an early morning outing to beat the Florida heat, a solo trek to a trail or pet-friendly store, or focused training time. Multiple daily walks and custom treks are built around what works for your family — just ask. Based in Weeki Wachee, serving west Hernando County. I treat every dog I work with like one of my own. I am fully insured and will provide real references upon request. This is my full-time job — not a side gig, not something squeezed in around another career. When I'm with your dog, that's where my attention is. Every walk, every outing, every training session. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk or trek, your dog gets my full, undivided attention — no other dogs, no distractions. I follow your routine and any instructions you give me for feeding, medication, or specific needs, and I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own: doors locked, things put back where they belong, and your dog's space left clean and comfortable. For walks and treks, I make sure water is available and accidents are cleaned up before I leave. For overnight stays, I keep your dog on their normal schedule as much as possible — same feeding times, same bedtime routine — so there's as little disruption to their world as I can manage. I'm also comfortable administering medication when needed. At the end of the day, my approach is simple: I treat every dog and every home like it's my own.
“Jennifer stayed four nights with my three dogs. She was responsive and provided regular updates and photos. My pets were happy and well cared for, and my home was nice and clean when I returned. I definitely will use her again in the future!”
“I would give Debbie more stars if available. We had her house sit for our dog. She went above and beyond. I'm not sure our dog even missed us, and I think our house was cleaner than we left it. I feel very secure in leaving our dog with Debbie. It makes traveling so much easier for us to know there is someone out there that treats our dog as good or even better than we do. Thank you Debbie We will see you again.”
“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first experience with a sitter, so I was nervous. She exceeded all of my expectations. Jessica answered all of my questions, was here when she said she would be, played with Bear, took him on nice long walks, sent lots of pictures, and left the house in perfect condition. Thank you so much! We will absolutely have Jessica sit for us again.”
About: I am an animal lover. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life as well as goats, chickens, and an occasional bird. I’ve also rescued and/or raised squirrels, rabbits, and a raccoon. I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. My baby (chihuahua) has epilepsy so I’m familiar with sticking to routines and administering oral medication. I am really quite a home body. I do a lot of crocheting. The only time that is not negotiable is the first and third Saturday 7:00am to 2:00pm of each month when I try to sell my crochet items at the farmers market. Other than those few hours I’m available to care for your babies needs. I’m trustworthy and clean. I will follow your wishes. I can crate your pet or sleep with it. I currently sleep with my chihuahua and my cat. I love to cuddle with them. My dogs are on a schedule for their medications so I would do the same for babies.
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and behaviors. I’ve been a reliable and dependable sitter for family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers by providing a safe and fun environment for all our furry friends. I currently work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm but am typically available outside of these hours. If located within citrus county I can provide drop-ins and walks during working hours on the weekdays. I have a double fenced small dog park in my area but would am also willing to travel to local dog parks for some fun in the sun for more active four-legged friends.
“Titan was so sad when Cindy left. I got daily pictures and came home to a happy dog. Cindy even cleaned the sheets and towels she used. Top notch service and super friendly! Highly recommend Cindy and her husband!”

Carter was absolutely amazing. We usually have taken our dogs to Camp. But we had grandbabies being born and business trips. Reviewed bios, met Carter and Rosie and Koda took to him instantly! He is attentive, responsive and responsible and an all around lover of dogs! I didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want him to not be available next time Rosie and Koda need a big brother to watch him! We loved him!

FAQs for House Sitting - Homosassa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Homosassa on Rover is $88.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 422 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Homosassa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Homosassa walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Homosassa maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Homosassa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
